Found this on a website a while back, I had it copied to my computer, but I don't have the original website, so I am posted the copy I have on my computer. This letter was originally written in IRAN! And it gives a positive point of view about the U.S., and I think it should be read here, as some feel that most of the world hates America.
SMCCDI: Reflections on "Presidents' Day" in America
Reflections on "Presidents' Day" in America

The people of the United States of America are celebrating the anniversary of their country's
"Presidents' Day". This celebration occurs for the people of a young country, yet the oldest remaining western democracy in the world, under circumstances which, according to the recent statements of the presidency of this country about our country, Iran, the shaky regime of the Islamic Republic has been faced with an unprecedented crisis in the international diplomatic arena and every day we are witness to various reactions, not only from the incompetent president of our own country, but also from all the authorities of both factions of the regime. Reactions that indicate the fear of all the illegitimate rulers of our country from the unfolding events in regards to the regional balance on the one hand, and the reaching to the end of the heroic Iranian nation's patience on the other hand. Without doubt, the statements of last January 28th by the presidency of the United States of America, which stated the true aspirations of the Iranian nation pursuant to the annual briefing of his government's accomplishments and the unfolding political outlook of his country, was once again a point of hope for many Iranians as it indicated the gradual shift of American policy compared to previous governments in regards to issues pertaining to our country.
President George W. Bush, who during his speech last year in the same annual ceremony known as The State of the Union, had correctly identified the Islamic Republic as one of three members of the Axis of Evil, and a few months later, meaning the day after the glorious demonstrations for the third anniversary of the student uprising of July 9 (18 Tir), has many times mentioned the rightful aspirations of the Iranian nation and the illegitimate nature of the religious regime and once again, in this year's speech, much more transparently, pointed out our fellow countrymen and countrywomen's basic desire for establishing a desirable government and mentioned that in Iran the freedom-lovers face the prospect of death and terror on a daily basis. Then, the executive chief of the world's only superpower in continuing this speech, which identifies his countries forthcoming policies, stated his country's open support for the freedom-lover's in Iran.
It should be noted that although the liberation of our country should be accomplished by the capable hands of the Iranians themselves without any foreign troops being involved, even so, the statements of Mr. Bush give precious hope that the quarter-century seclusion of the Iranian nation, which was due to the absence of listeners to our justice-demanding voices-- as in this material world the possibility of plundering the wealth of our country had made so many in this world blind to our plight-- is at an end.
Without doubt, the roots of President Bush's support, meaning this representative of the majority of the honorable American nation, can be found in the sudden awakening of that country's people towards the daily rising threat of religious fundamentalism and terrorism in the aftermath of September 11 on the one hand, and on the other hand along the deep beliefs rising from the rational and humane thoughts of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and famous thinkers such as John Locke who with their humane beliefs that apply to the whole world, as the founding principals of the new state, nearly three centuries ago founded an unequaled country. A country whose foundation and the spirit of its law even today continues, not only for Americans, but also for many of the oppressed people of the world, to be a model of an open and democratic system.
Yes, men such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin in reaction to the vicious cruelty and opportunism of the rulers of the time of the European countries rose up against them to create a country that considers itself the torchbearer and supporter of humane values and shelter for the world's freedom-lovers. Therefore, it is not without reason that this newly founded country, in a very short time, has become an unequaled country and a gathering place for many of the world's freedom-lovers, especially, for two-million of our fellow country-men and country-women who are residing there and have attained the best of living standards: A standard of freedom and life that the illegitimate rulers of our country, with the support of the already mentioned European opportunists, withhold from our people: European governments and rulers who out of fear of there placement in the new world order by America on the one hand and out of fear of losing their illegitimate benefits in countries such as Iran on the other hand, not only have risen to opposition with their decades-long ally and have forgotten the efforts of the US for liberating them from the yoke of Nazism and, later, Bolshevism and then the inheritance of the Marshall Plan which raised them from rubble, but also in their effort to throw stones along the path of their ally of yesterday and her war against terrorism, are willing to trod over the rest of their own values to support regimes such as the Islamic Republic in order to continue looting the nations of such countries.
Yes, President Bush, the president of the oldest remaining Western democracy in the world, despite the opportunistic support of European governments for the religious regime, has stated that the American nation is the friend and supporter of the Iranian nation in their struggle to attain liberty; and the Iranian nation, without doubt, despite the existing atmosphere of pressure and suppression, have demonstrated many times that the American nation, not only in the Middle East, but possibly in the world, has no better friend than the Iranian nation. Therefore, it is hoped that all the decision makers in the United States abstain from any kind of short-term tactical conciliation towards the other two members of the Axis of Evil.
Along this line, on behalf of the Third Force of Iran, while honoring Presidents' Day in America, the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran once again states that in tomorrow's liberated Iran, meaning in a democratic and secular Iran whose rulers have been selected by majority vote, and not by the hostage-takers and their terrorist-nurturing masters, the official relations of the two countries of Iran and America will reflect the amicable desires of these two nations and not the desires of a minority of unelected officials who have converted Iran into a religious dictatorship for a quarter-century.
